Producing animation is tough. It takes hard work, devotion, and vision. Even animation that is “phoned in” or “hacked out” requires effort.
Animation has dealt with B.S. and adversity at every turn. But more importantly I learned that the greatest achievements in animation no matter the era, always have the most humble of beginnings.

Free swag! Citizen Sanchez Mini Comic and Official Man Vs. Art Minion Pin! Bad Art will prompt zero emotional response in the viewer.Good Art is art that produces an emotion that you have felt before. Great Art is art that produces an emotion that you have NEVER felt before. As many of you know, I am very passionate about art. In fact it gets pointed out to me quite often. I guess a majority of it stems from my refusal to completely grow up. William Shatner is the epitome of the artist who never says die! For over four decades this guy has failed as much as he has as succeeded. He has put out as many stinkers as he has brilliant gems! What’s more William Shatner has humiliated himself a few times. But he always bounces back and we love him!

Some tips when sketching in public.
When you are drawing people in public, it’s a good idea to be discreet. You never know how some folks might react. Especially the ladies and vain guys. You know “Metro” guys. Try to be tactful also. Save the mean drawings to do at home. And for the love of god, if you are going to let people flip through your sketchbook make sure there isn’t anything in there you don’t wouldn’t show to your mother!
I recently attended a wedding where this lady fell victim to my pen.
